    082: Dr. Tamar Shtrambrand — Balancing Purpose, Practicality, and Growth

    A behind-the-scenes conversation about the tension between building the business you ultimately want and doing what it takes to build a sustainable practice first. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Tamar Shtrambrand, a clinical psychologist who built her private practice alongside a full-time hospital career before transitioning into full-time entrepreneurship. We talk about balancing purpose with practicality, building momentum through referrals and networking, and why sustainable growth often looks different than the vision we start with. What we explored: • Why building momentum often comes before building your ideal business model• The role of timing and market demand in growing a practice• Expanding beyond one-to-one work through speaking and education• The realities of work-life balance as a solopreneur and parent• Why purpose alone isn't enough to build a sustainable business Building a meaningful practice requires more than passion. It asks us to balance vision with practicality, trusting that today's foundations make tomorrow's opportunities possible.

    081: Nichole Jones — The Cost of Building with Integrity

    A behind-the-scenes conversation about what happens when your business grows, the momentum slows, and you're left trying to figure out which advice is actually worth following. In this episode, I'm joined by Nichole Jones, a mental health therapist and financial coach who helps women heal their relationship with money through neuroscience, Brainspotting, Ayurveda, and mindset work. Together we explore what it really feels like to build a mission-driven business when your integrity matters just as much as your growth. What we explored: • Why early momentum often gives way to an unexpected plateau• The challenge of building an intangible offer people can't immediately "see"• How conflicting business advice creates confusion and second-guessing• Why integrity can actually make entrepreneurship more difficult• Building a business that feels aligned instead of relying on sales tactics that don't fit Building a practice isn't just about finding better marketing. It's about creating a business model that allows you to stay true to your work while giving it the structure it needs to grow.

    080: Kendell Walker — Building at the Edge of an Emerging Industry

    A behind-the-scenes conversation about building a practice in an emerging field, navigating professional skepticism, and creating pathways for work that doesn't yet fit neatly into existing systems. In this episode, I’m joined by Kendell Walker, an integration coach, holistic health practitioner, and associate marriage and family therapist who specializes in relationship work, psychedelic integration, and helping people make meaning from transformative experiences. What we explored: • Building a practice at the intersection of alternative healing and therapy• The challenges of working in an industry that is still evolving• Why integration is often the missing piece in personal transformation work• The business realities of creating something that doesn't yet have a clear model• The importance of collaboration, referral networks, and community Some practitioners are building businesses inside established systems. Others are helping create entirely new ones. This conversation explores what it looks like to do both at the same time.
